Movie Moles Joe Clement and Frann Michel discuss Ridley Scott's "Prometheus", which is the third prequel in the Alien movies he inagurated in 1979. Joe and Frann are a bit critical of this film, finding it lacking in coherent character development or plot, but still are able to talk about space-travel and corporate power, the (better) ground-up narrative-building in the earlier Alien film compared to Scott's auteurist idealism in Prometheus, overt and narrative-sexism, and the mystification of biology in the pursuit of "origins".
